Bridal flower work covers more than a bouquet — hairpieces, boutonnieres and small accessories all use the same core skills of handling, wiring and arranging flowers cleanly. This course covers those fundamentals and applies them specifically to bridal bouquets and accessories, with practical sessions where you actually put arrangements together rather than only watching demos.
